The good and the bad

We have had a very busy couple weeks. To start off Steve got a job. It is in East Mesa. He will be programing simulations to train soldiers in the military. He will be starting the background check soon and then hopefully will start working soon. That is the good news. The bad news is that Steve is in the hospital. I took him the the ER while we were up in Bullhead City visiting his parents a week and a half ago on Saturday. They told us he had bronchitis and a virus. With sleep and good rest he should get better in a few days. We came home and he wasn't really getting better. Finally on Wednesday he agreed to go to urgent care to see why he was still so sick. Walked in and they took his vitals and told us if they couldn't get his breathing up we would have to go to the ER. Well they couldn't so we went to the ER. Turns out he has a very severe case of pneumonia and he also has influenza. So they admitted him right away.  His release date keeps getting pushed back because he isn't improving very quickly. Yesterday they pushed his release date to the 2nd of April. When we first got to the hospital they put him into isolation and he is still in a isolation room. They made us put on these masks, gloves and gowns. Now we don't have to put them on unless we get within three feet of him. And on another note I had to take Parker into the doctor on Friday because he was getting sick also and we didn't want him to get what Steve has. It turns out that he just has another ear infection and is on antibiotics and should get better soon. I just want to say thank you to all our friends and family who have helped us during this time.

We're so sorry to hear about Steve getting sick. Hope he feels better soon! Congratulations on the job though! Does that mean your moving to East Mesa? We can't get you to move in over here by us? (he he he)

I guess the saying is true - "When it rains it pours!" Hope Steve gets better soon! Congrats on the new job!

I hate those things!
It's no fun to be in the hospital! I hope Steve is getting better and you guys can be out of there!
